| The Sunday Club Chronicles | ||
Sunday, December 17, 2006Cubao Day For the first time after a long time the Sunday Club officers were complete. Thank God for Christmas breaks! So after a hefty lunch and some good ol' Assumption kwentuhan (because our Blessed Marie Eugenie was canonized today), Kuya Dondi, Wappy, Bam, Regina, and I went to the Marikina Shoe Expo in Cubao. There were a number of stores displaying Vintage stuff: old cameras, records (which Regina thought was a giant CD), vintage coke cans, lunch boxes and clocks, and old books. We didn't stay there for long since most of the stores were closed. So we went to the National Bookstore in Araneta after that. Wow! Four floors of books! It's actually a bit overwhelming when there are that many to select from that none of us (with the exception of Regina) bought anything. After all those books, it was time for what Sunday Club is really all about. A bit of exploration through a road trip. It was a choice between "eat" and "art", to which "art" surprisingly won by a majority vote. So Kuya Dondi took us to the Boston Gallery which houses contemporary art, some of which were created by the same artists who began their craft at the "Pinto Gallery". The beauty about their kind of art is that it is interpretative and full of emotion. Since the gallery was closing (or it was already closed and they only let us in to view for a short while), we drove around New Manila for a bit, passing Balete Drive and making up "stories" just for fun. Until we finally found our way back to EDSA for a dinner out at Korea Garden. - Caren
